GDT(1/4): Toronto Blue Jays @ Oakland Athletics - Dickey vs. Gray - 9:05 PM ET

[Anemic0ffense]

Basically if the Jays win by one run s*** will get real.

 

Dickey will make everyone's life easy, don't you worry

[DH12]

Gose only has 5 steals and 3 times caught. He has to steal more bases

[Atothe]

I'm just saying that if you tag a guy on a force play it's caused brawls before. It's an over-reaction but it does happen. If Vogt saw the call he will never make the tag.

 

I'm gonna differ to you on this because I have no idea

[saskjayfan]

so what happens if the jays win by 9 and the protest is upheld...replay?

[eastcoastjaysfan]

All this would've been moot if Anthony Gose could actually hit a f***ing baseball.

[Atothe]

Thole continuing to crash back down to earth

[DH12]

what if Gibbons also plays it under protest? Do the two protests cancel each other out?

[guylaroche5]

at what inning is melvin allowed to bust out the picket signs

[closetjaysfan]

Gose: don't worry Buck I can score from first on a single... also I don't care if it offsets the defence, I play this game for me.

[G-Snarls]

Here's where the weak bottom 4 kill us

[CJ-Freeway]

It's not an actual rule it's an unwritten one, just like how you don't bunt with a no-hitter going on etc.

 

Sorry, I meant unwritten rule!

save your prayers for a miracle of a different variety

Why would this cause a brawl?

[Daniel Labude]

How can they protest....the runner was out and the catcher didnt tag edwin. You cant assume that he just played the force play bc of the call.

[Jonzo]

so what happens if the jays win by 9 and the protest is upheld...replay?

 

Nothing.

And no one is surprised. How are you supposed to hit consistently when you only play 1 game in 5.

[jays4life19]

Wait. So if we win by 1 run....and they take away the run....what happens? it's not like the game can be a tie?

[Chappy]

Why would this cause a brawl?

 

Unnecessary tag. Guys then overreacting.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

A replay... Pretty stupid.

[Atothe]

Not his fault, he's only the personal catcher lol. He wouldn't be on this team otherwise

[Daniel Labude]

You mean strikeout Francisco should learn to hit

[Anemic0ffense]

Dickey being Dickey

[Jimcanuck]

f***ing dickey gonna give the run right back

[Chappy]

Wait. So if we win by 1 run....and they take away the run....what happens? it's not like the game can be a tie?

 

They replay the game from the point of the protest. So they would replay the game from the top of the second with the bases loaded and two out.

[Jonzo]

Wait. So if we win by 1 run....and they take away the run....what happens? it's not like the game can be a tie?

 

I Guess it's a replay from that point .

[closetjaysfan]

Unnecessary tag. Guys then overreacting.

 

Anyone have an example of this ever happening in MLB?

[TheHurl]

whats protest mean ?

 

If the league upheld the protest (the most famous was the George Brett Pine Tar incident, which they eventually over-turned the result). They can over-turn the result (in this case take the run off of the board is an option but unlikely), replay the game from the 2nd inning, or call it a tie even (extremely unlikely). Chances are they will not uphold it...

Wait. So if we win by 1 run....and they take away the run....what happens? it's not like the game can be a tie?

 

Honestly, if we win by one, it will be a replay from the 2nd inning. The reason I believe the protest will be successful is because if the catcher knew Kawa was out, he would have tagged Encadwin.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

I do not like watching R.A. Dickey throw a baseball.

[Chappy]

I don't have a specific game, but I've seen tags stir s*** up.
